Bidwell Bash Invitational 71 Topic

This will be the 5th season for the Bidwell Bash Invitational, which is named after General John Bidwell, the founder of Chico, CA, and Chico State University (also known as CSU, Chico). The tournament will be a 6-team round robin that will be played in weeks 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the non conference schedule. CSU, Chico is the tournament's host. The defending champ from the previous year gets an automatic bid to the next tournament (to be clear, this will be on a 1 season delay, so the season 70 winner will get an automatic bid to the season 72 tourney). The remaining 4 teams in the field is invitation only based on alblack's dynasty rankings (since he doesn't have a team in the Allen world, he doesn't do dynasty rankings here, but I have his formula and will be keeping and publishing the list).

IF YOU ARE AT OR CLOSE TO THE TOP OF THE DYANSTY RANKINGS AND ARE INTERESTED IN PLAYING IN THIS TOURNAMENT, KEEP NON CONFERENCE GAMES 5-9 OPEN UNTIL THIS TOURNAMENT IS FULL.

U of DC and Mercy have both accepted their invites. Still waiting to hear from Queens U NC (defending champ from season 69, but new coach), Wayne St MI (who usually declines) and Harding (who hasn't accepted in the past. Findlay is next in line if Wayne St MI declines, but he usually declines as well. If they both decline then Lewis would be invited.
